Both cases are pending. Therefore, the petitioner seeks for a direction to the trial Court to dispose of the cases within stipulated time.

2. The learned Government Advocate on instruction submits that in the case in CC No.273 of 2022 there are eight accused and two accused are absconding. Therefore, the trial Court could not proceed.
